Welcome to my home page!
Astronomical Research
Who am I, and why is this page here? I'm a postdoctoral researcher
(and onetime support astronomer) at the Instituto de Astrofisíca de Canarias,
involved in both observational and theoretical studies of nearby galaxies,
with an eye towards finding, characterizing, and (hopefully) understanding
peculiar central structures, such as nuclear rings and multiple bars. I'm
also involved studying the central regions of elliptical
galaxies, and seeing how these relate to supermassive black holes in the
centers of galaxies. And I've recently become involved in galaxy evolution
studies as well.
For more information, see my Research
Page.
Pretty Pictures:Images of two galaxies (originally presented at the
June, 1996, meeting of the American Astronomical Society), are available
for viewing here: NGC 2273 and NGC 2655.
